Well, it's doing a bit more than that, it's drawing a few boxes as well,
we had but fixed that stairstepping issue on other printers. No script,
straight out through lp.
Many, many thanks for your help.

The print only at the top of the page sounds like the printer is not getting
or not interpreting a carriage return at the end of the line. We had the
same problem on our Sun system with HP printers. Are you sending the
printout through a script before going to the device?

Subject: [U2] Again with Setting a Network Printer in Linux
Hola all -
So, I've tried the various options outlined here & in other related
email, but our setup is failing consistently.
What happens is this: I can setup a printer, B009A for example, in CUPS
or as an lp printer, doesn't seem to matter. Linux (RH 3.5) printing is
fine, test are all ok & lp from the bash line are good as well, output
is dandy. When printed from the TCL prompt like this:
SP-ASSIGN F24 (and the printer B009A has form 24 loaded up)
COPY CRIT PTEST (P
I get good output. But when I try to print from within local PICK
programs, which work fine on our
hopefully-soon-to-be-replaced-if-I-can-fix-this-issue Irix system,
nothing, they disappear entirely. My spooler log shows:
P Print PR24 2 528 UniVerse 24 06/07/2005 18:49:51
lpstat is clear, but no output. The only exception to this is when I
have the printer setup as a RAW printer, in which case I do get output
but it is incomplete -- a few boxes are drawn & a small amount of text
is output at the top of the page.
My programmer assures me he's doing nothing odd with the printing, and I
believe him (can post some code here if that will help, I need to find
the explicit printing code first) but damned if I can think of anything
else going on. Again, all jobs are properly logged in my spooler log
files but no output.
ANY hints/thoughts/ideas greatly appreciated.

You need to setup &DEVICE& by edit or uv admin. UV admin is best
because you will need to reread the spooler configuration files and you
are prompted for this. On my Linux the TCl command is "MOTIF
SYSTEM.ADMIN" or SYSTEM.ADMIN in the "uv" account.

I have tried reading the manual. How can I set up access to a network
printer under UV 10 with Linux Redhat 9.0. From the Linux shell I can
successfully print, but from UV all I get is the following message
every minute or so...
"Unable to open device. Verify that the printer is on line..."
Thanks in advance,
Marc
